Hi---guys:

I rec'd a PM from what appears to be Erin Pavlina, but the message is not coming up here at the forum, and the PM is asking me to visit a site for a book review, but when i click the link, i get a 404 error page.

Did anyone else receive a PM like this, and is it really from Erin?

I got one too. I think it's a phising expedition, but I doubt it's coming from Erin.

It was a PM spammer who's been hitting dozens of forums lately. He was banned here within the first hour. The message had nothing to do with Erin.

I came here just for this reason. I got the message on a satellite forum.

I was actually going to possibly read this thing, in honor of Steve and all he has done for everyone. lol.

Here is the message I got:

Sorry for PMing out of the blue. Here's the thing.

I wrote a book with a friend of mine. My husband keeps saying it sucks. I think he's just jealous tho.

He spends a lot of time on these boards, so I told him I'm going to pick a random person here, and ask them, and we ended up betting on it.

I received the email too. I thought it was very strange indeed, especially considering it was coming from a forum that I hadn't visited in over a year. I do admit, I read the thing.
